REVELATION OF JOHN.VOL 2

Dr. William Barclay does more than clarify the meaning of the imagery. His commentary covers many interesting subjects, such as the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the probable facts about Johns exile on the island, and the meaning of Christs knocking at the door.

World-renowned for his thought-provoking Daily Study Bible series, Dr. Barclay is one of the best-loved commentators on the Bible. In The New Daily Study Bible series his language has been sensitively updated, and out-of-date references have been removed. Sensitively edited by Linda Foster, the series keeps the cadences of Barclays inimitable style and his own original translations of New Testament texts.

The New Daily Study Bible series keeps the cadences of Barclays inimitable style and his own original translations of the New Testament texts. Through this exiting new revision, Barclays distinctive voice, which has spoken to so many in past years, will continue to help new generations to know better their Bible, their God and their Saviour.
